That Dream

It’s been 4 days since my trip to the Smoky Mountains and I can’t help but feel a little depressed about it. More than the cities that I’ve visited before somehow this place gave me the ZEN which I hadn’t felt in a very long time. I couldn’t have asked for a better detox from our daily mundane life. I felt that I could sit on that rock and listen to the sound of the water stream all day long, I felt the dominance and power of the gigantic mountain that it seemed surreal, I felt like the entire place was taking over me and there is no part of it wanting to stay away from it at all.

I know I’m rambling on here, but I wanted to get it out of my system before it eats me up. If I close my eyes now I can still see every view I saw there like a picture, I can hear every sound I heard and I can even smell the place. Sure I talk to the mountains and trees, I had imaginary friends for crying out loud, these things were bound to happen with me. I remember telling my mother once and I think it was one of those days where in your hormones go haywire and you say the silliest things. This is how the conversation went between us:

Me: Let’s pack our bag and go to Shimla or Manali. You and Me. What do you say?

Mom: Why?

Me: I have heard it’s a beautiful place and it’s always been my dream to stay in a small wooden house with a view of the mountains.

Mom: How are we paying for a house with a view like that?

Me: I’ll go for work.

Mom: What about me?
Some conditions that were once given the general label of rheumatism or called rheumatic diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, unica-web.com india generic tadalafil osteoarthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and tendonitis. Psychological issues can repress your cialis wholesale india brain from releasing those hormones and neurotransmitters that signal the penile organ to achieve the required blood supply that is essential for a sexual art. In this globe, almost 75% of the men suffer vardenafil price from mental health-relevant erectile dysfunction. It not only improves the sperm quantity, viagra discount store but its quality also gets better with its use.
Me: You sit at home and enjoy the view and in the evenings we will go for strolls around the mountain.

Mom: It would be extremely cold there. And what will I do without your dad? I can’t leave him alone.

Me: Ma, I was just day-dreaming with you.

Mom: Oh okay.

My mom is as you guessed, so naive but extremely smart, but I guess it’s an universal mother’s trait. The point being, we all have a dream that we know will always remain a dream. Like for example, one of my friend, her dream is to win the American Idol even though she cannot sing even a sentence properly but she imagines herself winning the finale and even thanking everyone in her family and being emotional on the stage. It gives her the happiness she is never going to experience with any other dream and too bad she shared it with me on a sleepover night for me to write about it now. Till 2 years back I had a hope that maybe one day I’ll move to a place where I can live in a small wooden house near the mountains with a view so delightful that I would not even have to decorate my house. That was my dream. Yes dreams do come true but there are some dreams you know deep within you are never going to happen.

I don’t know if Bigshot saw it but when I sat on that rock in the forest I was so overwhelmed by everything around me that my heart broke a little and I choked up a little feeling grateful for that moment. I felt like I did not deserve to be there. For being able to have experienced such beauty of the nature. I can still go back to that happy place if I close my eyes to get transported into that world. It’s beautiful.

I wish for every single one of you to have that kind of a dream that will take you to your happy place and maybe one day when you experience atleast a quarter of it coming true, it’s going to take you by surprise. And that is a feeling no other dreams can give you. I wish you that dream. Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
